SEDALIA, Mo., JANUARY 1, 1909.
DEAR READER:

In presenting you with our 1909 Garden Annual we wish to announce, in a
modest way, the completion of our 25th year in the seed business. For twenty-
five years we have served the American people with the wery best seeds and supplies
and our business is continually growing. Last season we witnessed the largest business
we have ever had, for which we are extremely grateful to our friends and patrons,
for through their kind efforts we have added many new friends to our large list.

Finding our quarters too small to accommodate the rapid growth of our business,
we have just completed an addition to our warehouse, which gives us nearly 5000
feet more floor space, with all modern improvements for handling ‘‘Sure Seeds’’
and Supplies, and one of the most complete and up-to-date Seed and Supply
Establishments in the United States.

While on our European trip the past season, visiting the most noted foreign
seed and bulb growers, we secured many valuable selections in seeds, which in
addition to our American Grown crops enables us to offer you the cream of the
Best Seeds Grown at moderate prices.

Believing that the recollection of quality remains long after the price is for-
gotten we never attempt to compete with ‘‘Cheap John’’ houses. Our customers
may depend on receiving the best that money can buy.

Our catalogue is full of bargains in good things for the Farmer, Gardener,
Poultryman and Bee-Keeper, however, if you do not find what you want or if
there is anything not satisfactory, write us, be friendly, and we will do our utmost
to please you.

We extend you a sincere and cordial greeting and wish you a Happy and
Prosperous New Year.

L. H. ARCHIAS, PRESIDENT

Most sincerely yours,

Archias’ Seed Store Corp.

but one variety of Cabbage, he could get
none that would answer all purposes as well
as Archias” “All Head.” For uniformity, re-
liability of heading, size, earliness and qual-

since the outer leaves are so few, a _ close

ARCHIAS’ MAMMOTH TREE

GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.

Thousands of our friends have planted Arch-
ias’ Mammoth Tree Tomato for over fifteen
years and it is more popular today than any
other variety, especially to the family gar-
dener.

Fruit is of mammoth size, flesh very thick,
excellent flavor, ripens well up to the stem,
color, dark red, tough _ skin. Bears well
throughout entire summer, holding its large
size during severe drouth, while other varie-
ties are dried up. It continues to bear its
by the frost. Shape round and smooth. The

yield of this Tomato is simply enormous, one bushel having been picked off a single plant
in one picking. Well cultivated plants have attained the height of ten feet and nine feet

across.

This should not be classed with other so-called tree tomatoes of some houses, as

it is the only genuine tomato of the kind now existing. Price: 10c per pkt; 3 pkKts., 25c;

oz., 40c, by mail, postpaid.

for planting is to soak in a running creek

by putting it in a vessel and covering it

MANII, purplish

HENRYIIL. bine.

There is no more. ornamental
class of plants than Clematis
and the rich show of bloom pro-
duced by the best varieties is far
too magnificent to be fairly por-
trayed by mere words. The col-
ors run from intense velvety-
purple, through blue, lavender
and white, and a crimson varte-
ty (Madame Edward Andre) has
lately been added to the list.
We presume everyone of our cus-
tomers who sees Clematis plants
in bloom each summer promises to plant
some in his own yard or garden at the next
opportunity. They are especially adapted
to our climate.

Duchess of Edinburg—One of the best
double whites, of vigorous habit, very free
of bloom and deliciously fragrant.

Henryii—A vigorous grower and a free
bloomer, producing its large pure white
flowers constantly during summer and early
autumn. The best large-flowered variety
producing pure white flowers.

Jackmanii—The flowers are large, intense
rich velvety violet-purple and are produced
in such masses as to form a cloud of bloom.
Well known and*very popular.

Madame Baron-Veillard—Of recent intro-
duction and quite like its parent, the popu-
lar Jackmanii, in habit and makeup, except
that its flowers are a lively, satiny, lavender-
pink; entirely distinct from any other varie-
ty and charming in effect.

Madame Edouard Andre—<Also of the Jack-
manii type and is the nearest approach to a
bright red that has yet appeared. The flow-
ers are very large, usually six-petaled, of a
distinct, pleasing shade of carmine, and are
produced in bewildering profusion.

PH Ramona—Lavender-blue, flowers large, of-
oi ee ten nine inches across. Most beautiful of its

Ww

ET
\ Bee

RE KY color known,
ee ay A Clematis Paniculata—One of the most valu-
ee able of all hardy flowering vines. Of ex-

ceedingly rapid growth, soon reaching a height of fifteen to twenty feet and spread-
ing out in all directions. Small, pure white flowers, borne in great masses of pani-
cles or clusters on long stems, so profuse as to fairly cover the plant with a sheet of
fleecy white. Its blooming period is in August and September, when most other vines
have ceased, and it is then a sight to behold. Not its least charm is its delightful
Maegnolia-like fragrance. Hardy as an oak.
